If I close and then open lid, the screen starts blinking endlessly, redrawing window decorations. It is highly annoying and makes laptop unusable. Doing ctrl-alt-F21 does not help, reclosing the lid does not work. The following messages fiull Xorg.log with the same frequency as blinking: (II) PM Event received: Capability Changed I830PMEvent: Capability change (II) PM Event received: Capability Changed I830PMEvent: Capability change etc What I noticed is that if I click on SCREEN BRIGHTNESS applet and bring up the slider for screen brightness, blinking stops while the slider is up.
